Arshad Sharif Mother Said in the Letter
In the letter, the mother urged CJP Umar Ata Bandial to take notice of ‘cruel actions’ of the government in investigation of journalist’s killing and demanded justice for Sharif’s family.
“Sharif had written a letter to you [CJP Bandial], pointing out the death threats he was receiving and sedition cases that were registered against him across the country,” she noted in the letter.
The letter further stated that Arshad Sharif moved to Dubai due to government’s actions against him. “Later, the current government put pressure on the Dubai administration, which forced Arshad to leave,” it added.
